I spoke to Rec Tec and they had a good trick to help. I lowered the minimum feed rate for the auger which helped. They also suggested to use a dime sized ball of tin foil to prop the lid open enough for temps to come down but not trigger the RTD probe.

I seem to be having issues with the recovery of my temps after opening the Bull. I’m currently cooking a 3-2-1 on some spare ribs and I’m watching the temps of the Bull and it’s been 42 minutes since the “3” of the 3-2-1 method and the Bull temp is actually climbing :( it’s been set at 225 and...

Not sure about the app, but I used the pid controller on the Bull to do it.

If you smoke it they will come. If you smoke it they will come.

That's a great solution for the tech savvy indeed! I'm sure you made sure to use some silicon to prevent water from entering the board! That would be a disaster!

Welcome! I'm fairly new myself and likewise have not had a bad cook yet!

Congrats @cookingjnj!

Nice cook! I'm looking to smoke the Thanksgiving bird this year! I normally deep fry it and it's soooo good that way. We'll see what it's like smoked a little later in the year.

I looked at the Thermapen Mk4. That was a pricey piece of equipment! Maybe down the road. It did look very nice though. I've used the Thermopop on a few cooks now and I don't have any bad things to say about it. It reads quickly (3 seconds maybe), it's easy to wipe off and put away, and...

I used Heffer Dust, Honey Rib Rub, and the comp blend. Can't comment on the Holy Cow rub. But the three rubs I did use I liked them all. I'm a little partial to the Heffer Dust. It's sooooo good!

Had my first BBQ this past weekend with the Rec Tec. I had somewhere between 30-40 people over and the Rec Tec didn't let me down! My guests were complimenting the quality of the food as well as the looks of the grill and had all kinds of questions about it. I did two 9# shoulders two...

I think most have been through this very same debate, myself included. I actually ordered a Stampede but called Rec Tec and spoke to their customer service and changed to a Bull before they had shipped the Stampede. You can see my thread on this Just clicked buy on a new Stampede should I have...

I'm looking into getting some of those claws too. I saw them at my local Rural King when I was buying the pellets.

My first ever reverse sear on a sirloin and my first ever pulled pork, smoked proudly on my Rec Tec RT700!!

I wasn’t using the probes when I was searing. Only during the initial smoke.

I just got a RT-700 a few days ago and have done two cooks on it. My temps have been holding fine. That’s a strange thing yours is doing.

I did the comp blend on a shoulder yesterday. It turned out delicious! I'll try some pecan on some stuff after I burn through this comp blend.

I’ve had mine for two days now. I did a reverse sear on a steak the same day I got it. This morning I threw a shoulder on it for 12 hours. So far I do not have any seam separation. I’ll keep an eye on it though.

Funny just a little over 30 minutes from posting about this probe issue I get a delivery from USPS. I ordered a thermometer from ThermoWorks the other day to go with the new grill and it showed up! They even threw in a pack of Jelly Beans lol! I'll compare my Rec Tec probes to this when I go...

I will look into the calibration. I was so excited to have the grill assembled and ready to go I skipped the calibration. And I actually threw a shoulder on it this morning lol. I'll check the calibration after this cook. I did use both probes this time. I'll watch them to see if they're...
